Refugee Week is a time to celebrate the resilience and courage of refugees around the world. Despite facing unimaginable challenges, they continue to persevere and contribute to our communities. Let's take this moment to recognize and honor them.

Summer is the perfect time for fresh, healthy salads! I'm loving this fattoush recipe with crispy pita chips, tangy sumac, and loads of veggies.

Who else is a fan of this Middle Eastern classic? 🥗☀️

Mental Health week officially ended last Sunday, so we thought today we would share a testimony from one of our chefs - Waed. ❤️

Through the Voluntary work with Plateful Cafe my knowledge has increased by meeting kind and expert people especially those in charge of it, moreover meeting friends and getting to know new people of different nationalities.

[PlatefulCafe @CafePlateful]

Working with Platefull coffee helped me to overcome some of these difficulties by spending a little time practicing my hobbies in translation / interpreting and cooking, especially when preparing dishes from our country of origin ,and sharing them with the community.

Mental Heath Awareness Week, an opportunity to raise awareness and inspire people to reach out for mental health support. 🧠

[PlatefulCafe @CafePlateful]

To address the mental health challenges refugees faced there are a growing number of resources available. @TheBMA released a toolkit that outlines how practitioners can best support refugee’s mental health needs, for example. 🔧

How do I learn more about the refugee crisis?

To learn about the refugee crisis, read articles from reputable news sources, follow organizations like the International Rescue Committee on social media, and volunteer with local organizations that help refugees.
